First S-Curve of the Season

 This is my first ever S-Curve, and it's been a great learning experience.  It's very difficult to compare similar teams together, and I now understand why many mock brackets are so different.  I'll perhaps start making actual brackets in the future, but for now I'll start with just S-Curves.  Please, give me feedback!  Leave a comment or let me know on my twitter! Thanks.

New Blog...

Welcome to my new blog!

I'll be posting a couple of times a week about different things college-basketball related, from observations to mediocre attempts at bracketology to my rankings.  I'll try to keep it interesting and always provide new insight.  I've been very good at bracket predictions the past five years, finishing in the top 90% of ESPN 3 times and never finishing below 50%.  Happy reading!
